A good opinion of ones self is I'M
doubtedly desired. but, Dolly, don't you
think we are being rather inundated with
opinions of men, women and ghosts about
how became this, that and the other

write a few books that would help people
to sweep or dust well. to fit clothes or to
cook "A good dinner 1t is immensely con-
ceited in any man to sit down and write
an artitle entitled, Books that have
helped me-" as If he had been made into
special edition of mankind and he was
going to be condescendipg enough to let
the rest of the world know the stepladders
he used to get there Bother the books
that have helped him wish few
books would help make ghosts of people
| am sure Il | had to write down the
books that have helped me the list would
be appalling.
What does one want books to help one

amused, and when it comes to being
helped l turn to an encyclopedia II l

The ignorant and practical man is some
times inclined to scott at the apparently
purposeless gruhbing of the scientist, but
should he find himself ia tight place. he
might discover taat The studious theorist
could easily extricate him from it. 4 sci
entific man, while ont in boat one night
ON river in Florida, was caught in fog
SO dense that it was impossible to see
twenty feet ahead.
The boatman stopped rowing, saying
that they must wait for daylight, or at
least until the fog should clear aw.v, as
they did not know in what direction to
steer. Their passenger then showed them
what benefit could be reaped, in an emer-
eency, from knowledge Of certain natu-
raj laws. He says:
Il ut once stood up in the boat and
shouted Soon an echo came back Point
ing in the direction from which it pro-
ccetled, l said, There is the nearest land. ,
Rowing half a mile in the specified direc-
ton. we soon reached the shore.
The boatmen expressed great surprise
that, although they had been on the river
all their lives, SO simple q plan for finding
their way in a fog had never occurred to
them The fact upon which l acted was
this: Air saturated with moisture during
a fog is n much better conductor of sound
than when dry. Two results follow:
Sound travels faster, and hence the echo
returns more speedily. and the sound is
heard more distinctly"
Remembering these facts, a person can.
with a little Practice, soon determine the
approximate distance Of the nearest land

A gentleman who keeps . few hens for
profit, recently carried some frefh laid eggs
to Faneuil Hail Market, Boston, and received
for the same forty-three cents per dozen.
The dealer said to him. next week l will
pay you forty five cents. and before Christmas
City cents dozen for all you will bring me
like these"
What is true of Boston is in 4 measure
true of every market for eggs The next
eight weeks will be the season of highest
prices. Therefore work your hens for all
they can do. We have no doubt but that,
for want of the proper ingredients in their
food, more than one half of the hens in this
country are now idle, when eggs will sell for
fifty cents per dozen. 1t is pure folly to
wonder, spend time and money or experiment
10 find out why your hens do not lay. You
better by far profit by the experience of
others, and make them lay during December
and January. The following sworn state
ment shows that, the quickest and surest way
to do this and increase the egg product dur
ing these months from one to six hundred
per cent, is by the use of Sheridans Powder
TO make hens lay, once daily in the food.

Il commenced Dec. 6, 1886, to feed sixty

to the ordinary European languages some
of the Asiatic, including Afghanistan,
and some African. including Soudanese,
Ashantec, Abyssinian and Zulu. He
must have a lovely temper, amiable as a
woman and rs affable as candidate
who is canvassing for your vote. and ut the
same time he must be big and ugly
enough to scare Off whole armies. He must
be able to ride anything from n giraffe to
n rat. and he able to sit in the saddle for
100 miles Mt II stretch, to- go without eat

Q alton can read it. He must write at the

write eight columns and then galiOP back

to tell every move that is going to be
made and scent a battle long before it
takes place, and then while it is raging
he must tell how it is going and what
will be the result long before it termin-
ates. All these accomplishments would
make a man an ideal correspondent, but

A Prima Donna's Romance.

a little romance of PiccolOmini was
suggested by the portrait of n very sad
looking Armand with a very conven-
tional Armand beard. When Piccolo-
mini was at the zenith of her fame she
came to America and sang in the old
Academy. One night she was singing in
la Favorita" when those near her
thought she had been taken suddenly ill.
She was, but not for any physical
reason She had caught the eyes OF
a pale, slender man, who sat among the
audience. And it was said afterward
that when Piccolomini was little girl,
Just entering her teens, and before any
thought of her successful career as a
prima donna had ever came to her or her
parents, the pale gentleman and she be-
came attached. 1t was at her old home
in Florence, where this gentleman then
lived, though he was an American,
and it was expected that the
little Piccolomini would one day,
when she became older, be the bride
of this early lover. But the discovery OF
her voice, and her queenly success with
it, caused a severance of these tender re-
lations- They separated, not angrily, but
sorrowfully, and Piccolomini did not
again see her youthful lover till she saw
him in New York. They met once OF
twice afterward, and met simply as old
and pleasant acquaint;.nces.-New York
Sun.
